Jew is a proper noun. Literally like the only two rules in scrabble are that you have to play an actual word, and it can’t be a proper noun.

F*g is in the dictionary for toil and drudgery. Jew is just a shorthand for Jewish. This isn’t that deep

Sikh, Muslim, Hindu are also not allowed because they are proper nouns. I hope this helps you understand and realize this isn’t some Jewish conspiracy.

It’s always written with a capital J and refers to a specific group of people. That’s literally a definition of Proper noun…. This is 2nd grade English class stuff…

F*g has multiple meanings and not just the derogatory definition.

I never said it wasn’t. I was pointing out that f*g has multiple definitions in the dictionary. Jew and Jewish are just proper nouns. There is no verb or adjective Jew or Jewish or alternate definitions…

Religions are proper nouns, so are their followers. It’s the same way countries are capitalized, so their nationalities are too. Same goes for languages, even when they are school subjects (English, Spanish). I don’t know why you’re burying you’re head on this but okay

Scrabble uses official word lists like Merriam-Webster Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, and those lists follow specific rules No capitalized words (proper nouns) Words like American, Christian, Jewish are excluded if they’re tied to specific religions, nationalities, or ethnic groups.

It’s clear you have both an agenda towards proper grammar and Jewish people.

It’s not a verb. You also used it as an adjective, not a noun. Judaism is a proper noun. Jewish is an adjective (the Jewish faith, the Catholic Church). Jew is a shortened version of Jewish, making it also an adjective. Adjectives are descriptive. This is like 1st grade English. Rebecca is Jewish (adjective). She is a Jew (adjective, considered derogatory/incorrect). She practices (verb) Judaism (noun).

Jewing isn’t a verb in Miriam Webster and is only used by antisemite losers.

Jew is not a verb In mirium Webster which scrabble uses. Which you seem to take an issue with. Also you have continuously ignored that scrabble also does not include the names of other religions and have focused only on Judaism. This whole thread has just been a demonstration of your second grade reading level and thinly vailed Jewish hate.
